Failure of a threaded assembly through self-loosening not only risks lost production but also worker safety, a situation an Australian mining operation faced when M36 anchor bolts threatened the collapse of the jaw crusher equipment frame.

The bolts had been locked by spring washers which simply could not rise to the challenge of securing bolts on a piece of equipment subjected to continuous vibration and high shear forces.  This resulted in the loosening – and ultimately the breaking off – of anchor bolts and the collapse of concrete footings.

The impact of Covid19 is clear for all to see – escalating death tolls, Governments across the world striving to protect their populations and to keep their respective economies functioning against a background of considerable uncertainty.

“This is a heady cocktail. With already one year of controls and challenges across the business spectrum and with no clear end in sight, we also find the British terror threat is now at the severe level,” says Nick Hart, managing director, Hart Door Systems. “Prudent businesses should therefore be considering a review of security issues across their property portfolios as a matter of urgency.”

Rapid water jetting innovation has provided opportunities to operate at higher pressures and in different ways, widening the applications for jetting technology.

This has transformed the ability to clean, prepare and defoul many structures. Since the 1970s, jetting pressures have risen from 8,000psi (550bar) to 60,000psi (4,138bar).

New jetting systems have broadened applications across surface preparation, material cutting and hydrodemolition. Yet bigger is not always better, says Billy Campbell, who has more than 40 years in the water jetting industry.
